I smoked BBQ Ribs inside an 1899 STEAM TRAIN! [K-37 Kitchen] 

amazing that we have official support lol

It's Great y'all actually support this, who knows y'all could start selling pizza and ribs now straight from your locomotives

Certified chad moment

Not the first time someone cooked food inside the smokebox - the fella who does the videos of the #WatercressLine in the UK cooked pulled pork inside the smokebox of one of their big engines around a year or so ago...

Me 2

I can hear the screaming already…..

I’d pay good money to see that, If I wasn’t hella broke

It’ll just be him yelling at the locomotive

Or just him doing a review on it lol

We let him yell at people with the whistle.

@@counterfit5 that’s actually cool

...challenge to think about, and possible accept later! Lol

@@Hyce777Shovel breakfast or lunch

Perfect day to fire up a steam locomotive!

As an Albertan who used to work in a coal fired power plant, its really not, this is a quick way to make smoked ribs that taste like tarmac, engine grease, and coal, betcha money those ribs were laced to the nines with fly ash.

FDA always has something to say...

I still think the K-37 Kitchen should be a full restaurant.

honestly there are still restaurants that use coal fired ovens for grilling so i dont see why that would be an issue so it would mostly be down to clean tools when cooking coal dust is perfectly fine to ingest as its entirely carbon i wouldnt want to breath but eating would be just fine, also would love to see a pasta dish cooked in there

Screw the FDA

People have used it in their BBQ pits for years. Personally, I prefer nice dry mesquite with a few pecan shells for a slow smoked brisket.

I have no idea.

i don't know about american railroads, but i can confirm, firebox cooked breakfast was a common delicacy for some british railroads. not probably not the best for you on a coal-burner, what with all the tar, but we didnt really think to worry about all that at first. In fact, these guys did a video of it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-inIX6XbDjjU.html

Sir you just leaked how the crews during the great 1938 rio grande snow incident survived

I know for a fact rail crews made bacon on firebox doors. So we are halfway there

@@rustingparts this should be done next @hyce

Will do, cheers!

It was a fairly common practice for British crews during the steam era to cook bacon and eggs or sausages on the coal shovel where time was available in the mornings, (and if one ate in the afternoon or evenings it might be a sausage roll or something else to that effect) and of course, brewing tea was also common; In fact, brewing tea and making small meals was so common for British crews that a lot of the early mainline diesels and electrics on BR had hot plates for warming small meals like pasties and of course, tea. The practice wasn't as well-documented in the US during the steam era, but I imagine it did happen somewhat frequently- hard work and early hours makes for hungry men, and I'm sure more than a couple mornings were spent brewing a cup of coffee or making a small breakfast if they had time, especially on smaller railroads where there weren't a bunch of supervisors skulking around to call you out on it and you had quite a while before the train was ready. Some of the volunteers at the National Railway Museum in York (UK) cooked a full Christmas dinner in one of their steamers back in 2014, and of course, it included turkey. It was only an 0-4-0, and it wasn't a whole turkey, but it happened nonetheless. blog.railwaymuseum.org.uk/cooking-a-christmas-dinner-in-teddys-smokebox/

@@harrisongrant8558 I also saw (not too long ago) a video from the UK with the fireman making breakfast as you described.

Not so much a cooking story as it is a food mishap, but I remember hearing a steam-era story from the Canadian Pacific a few years ago: It was a cold winter night and an engineer's wife gave him home-made soup in a jar to eat while out on the road. On their return trip, they made a stop for water, and the engineer used this as an opportunity to put the soup on the backhead to warm it up, and then stepped out of the cab for a moment. When he returned a few minutes later he found the jar exploded, and the cab roof was caked in chunks of food and broken glass. "I didn't eat my supper that night. But I sure smelled it all the way home."

@Harrison Grant here's a video from the #MidHantsRailway-TheWatercressLine that features pulled pork in a steamer's smokebox: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-athI9rqSC0Y.html

2102 firebox cooks great steaks. Can't have any smoke-well cooked fire needed.Nobody wants a bituminous flavored steak.

I did that one and then as soon as I reviewed the footage I asked myself why the hell I hadn't done it sooner

That's basically how the conversation went

LIMES!

Hyce to the “regular” BBQ guys/gals….wow “you have such cute little smokers” Edit: autocorrect got me.

If there is a running Berkshire somewhere, you could have Berkshire Brisket.

@@artiek1177 *insert PM 1225 and NKP 765*

Yup, we actually pulled the ribs out when we fired up the blower, then put them back.

The OG Q39 is on the Missouri side, though they have a second location in Overland Park now.

Glad you enjoyed! That was a fun bit to film. I was asking myself why I hadn't done it sooner once I saw how it came out.

I forgot that 20's door doesn't stay open with the handle down. The other two do. Lol!

After I watched that footage back I asked myself "why haven't I put a camera that close to the rail before!" Haha

Sorry to hear you've missed our girl! I bet we can line it up soon enough.

@@Hyce777 well I’m honestly just happy see she’s cared for by people like you! You’ve got a good sense of humor and a respectful way to do things.
